Seasonality Core For Mac

There’s a weather app out there for every kind of user, but some are a lot more particular than others. Apple’s iPhone app gives you a brief rundown of what you need to know that might get in the way of your plans, but if you want a lot more detail, you’re going to need something like Seasonality Core.

This application doesn’t just show you the temperature and precipitation forecast. It gives you every significant parameter that a meteorologist would be interested in, and it’s all presented in a fairly intuitive fashion.

The main window is structured to concentrate as much information as possible in one view. You have basic readings on top, a three-day forecast and sunrise/sunset times below, followed by a series of graphs and a wind map. One quick glance will get you most of the info you need, and you can zoom in for more.

On the left, you have all the locations you have added for monitoring. Each location’s temperature is displayed in the sidebar, along with an icon indicating the current weather conditions. You can switch between them quickly and refresh weather data on demand.

Maximize the wind map, and you can pan around, zoom in our out, and change various display properties. Same goes for the graphs on the bottom-left, but the amount of details available here is quite daunting. Everything from wind speed and direction, pressure, precipitation, cloud cover, and humidity, all over a user-defined time period.

There is even a weather journal where you can save the conditions on a particular day, in any location, for future reference.

While the UI layout is very intuitive, the design does look a bit outdated, and the biggest problem is that the window cannot be resized. Even if you go to full-screen mode, the window retains its default dimensions, which means you can’t get a clearer view of what you’re looking at if you want to.

Seasonality Core is a great weather app for hobbyists, with plenty of information to satisfy even the most demanding of amateur meteorologists. The only thing that could be improved is the slightly outdated and fixed-size user interface.
